About this tool
A weekly budget feels abstract until it is divided by meals. This calculator splits your grocery spend across the meals you cook each week, so you can judge whether a recipe fits the budget before you shop. It covers groceries only, not eating out or takeaways.
Frequently asked questions
Does this include eating out?
No. It covers home grocery spending only, so takeaways and restaurant meals sit outside the figure.
How do I use the per-person figure?
Compare it with a recipe's cost per serving. If the recipe costs more per serving, it needs a cheaper week elsewhere to balance out.
